Chapter dedication: To my friend Naomi who was texting me today, talking about eating ramen at midnight. (The best time to eat it in my opinion. XD )
36: Ramen
It was midnight at the Hitachiin manor and all was quiet. Every room was dark and every occupant was in bed, enjoying the cool, inky black air that swept through the open windows as they slept.
Well… most of them were asleep.
Kaoru Hitachiin was asleep… Was being the key word. Now, he was searching for his twin, who seemed to be missing from their shared bed. This of course left a very cold Kaoru shivering and wondering just where his twin had run off to, so the younger redhead had set off to search for his brother and human-space-heater. On his way down the halls, he had grabbed the thickest blanket he could find from the linen closet. His hazel eyes scanned the dark hallways, feet guiding him automatically down the memorized corridors and around lone obstacles. But so far, his twin had yet to appear.
"Hikaru?" he called softly as he entered the dining room.
No answer.
Just as he was about to turn to search for his brother in the study, a sound like a drawer slamming shut sounded from the kitchen. Kaoru tensed, warily moving around the table towards the kitchen. Silently, the redhead slipped through the doors, padding stealthily across the tiled floors, head ducked down below the counters in case it was an intruder. He slowly straightened himself up once he was positioned in front of the knives. When he saw who it was, he immediately scoffed, "Really?"
"Wha'?" Hikaru's inquiry was muffed around a mouthful of ramen noodles hanging from his mouth. His eyes were wide and his face was blank in some sort of deer-caught-in-headlights-oh-I'm-so-guilty expression.
"You're up at midnight… eating commoner's ramen for what reason, exactly?" Kaoru crossed his arms under the blanket balanced precariously on his shoulders. The way he was standing reminded the older redhead of a lecturing mother, making him smirk a little at the mental image that followed.
"I was hungry! I didn't think you would wake up, so I decided I'd eat some of this commoner's ramen Tono's been raving about. My bad," he mumbled as sat the bowl down haphazardly on the counter he was leaning against.
Kaoru rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Hurry up then! I'm tired and the bed is cold."
"You're such a girl sometimes, I swear…"
The older twin was promptly punched in the arm for the insult.

A/N: Guess who's been getting back into Ouran? *Small, guilty voice* Sorry for leaving you all for so long. I've been trolling the Hetalia fandom. XD Hey to all of you Heta-otaku's out there reading this.
"I don't see why people add disclaimers to their stories. I mean obviously they don't own it, or they would be multimillionaires that actually did something with their lives instead of writing things for fanfiction. If they actually owned all of this shit, then it would have actually happened, and they wouldn't even bother to think about this dumbass website." -One of my friends on disclaimers
